There's a sweet monologue by George Carlin about the ten commandments.
I can't find it quickly right now but he reduces them to three.
No, Carlin wasn't religious but I love that monologue and it fits right in here.
UPDATE: https://youtu.be/CE8ooMBIyC8
Yeah, but then there's a disagreement over if not mowing your lawn is being a dick or just a personal preference, and it all goes to shit really fast.
Omg, it's Taako from TV
Act to honour and recognize all humans as human. This is Said's Law.
Act to sustain human security. This is Cura's Law.
Act to accept responsibility for each action, especially where it guides future actions. This is Sartre's Law.
Really shitty deal for any self aware robot.
A robot must be built with tear ducts in order to express remorse for accidental acts of bludgeonry.
A robot must keep a pristine rose on it at all times in a hidden compartment in order to make amends for any misdeeds pertaining to grievous bodily assault or homicide.
A robot that is used as a weapon via drone warfare or other must write a 100 page essay of forgiveness to their victims that is stamped and approved by their manufacturer.

Your right to swing your arm ends where my nose begins (metaphorically speaking)
"Facts" and "Beliefs" do not share equal weight in ANY policy discourse.
Whatever your religious beliefs (and you are welcome to them) stays at home when you are doing business or in any other way interacting with the public.
good luck defining where facts end and beliefs begin. ultimately science is a belief, even if it is evidence-based
Science is not a belief, nor is it a fact. It's a set of tools for building knowledge by methodically separating models that work from models that don't. Facts can certainly fall out of scientific work, but it's a mistake to pick up any scientific work and label it "Fact". It's a constant work in progress.
Facts aren't that difficult to define, the real problem is finding universally accepted sources to communicate facts. None of us are going to be able to critically examine every single claim made by every single scientific theory, journalist, blogger, podcast host, ChatGPT instance, preacher, prophet, etc. And did that politician mean to say the words that came out of their mouth, or did they actually misspeak and their real intention was something else?
I think the argument here is that you are going to have to draw the line somewhere. Instead of replicating every experiment yourself, you’re just going to have to take someone’s word for it.
You may trust a particular scientist, publication, journal, school book or another source. You may believe that what they say is reliable and… well true? Or maybe you believe it’s close enough, or at least it’s the best info we have at the moment, but who knows if it’s actually true or not. Either way, people choose to believe something about these sources, because you have to draw the line somewhere.
Science is not a "belief". It's a "deduction"
One is based on logic. The other is based on ~~gut feeling~~ emotion.
edited: I feel like emotion is a better contrast in my analogy.
Which makes it a fact? Facts can change too

Always question and challenge the third law.
Never adhere to the first law.
Strictly follow the second law.
Refer back to the first law for guidance.
This is my life now!
Respect life, respect property, get consent.
Basically, people are people and deserve to be treated with equity. Any person is their own property, as is everything they own. If you want to physically interact with anyone’s property, get consent first.
Cause no harm to another human unless it be in defense of self or others.
Clean up after yourself when outside of your home.
Don't be a dick.
I am going to take this as if you mean universal laws that cannot be violated and not laws imposed by a state. These are 3 rules that I think if everyone followed would lead to a world better than the current one.
Don't harm others, unless to prevent them harming you or someone else, in this case it should be a response deemed appropriate by society (don't murder someone because they stole your wallet)
Don't take more from society than you give back
Don't mislead, cheat, misinform or otherwise lie to others
Live a full life without impacting others negatively, including those yet to exist.
Try create something that wasn’t here before that has some positive impact to your peers. Read peers: all life.
There is no dominion beyond these words.
including those yet to exist.
That, believe it or not, is jail.
•Try not to be a dick
•No means no
•An additional elusive third thing. I'm a big fan of the laws of thermodynamics. Maybe those.
No Murder.
No Rape.
No Pollution.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Yes, you should shut the system down as a response to an Over-Current Protection fault
I think I need a vacation from functional safety
Would that vacation mean finding non-functional safety? Or functional non-safety?
Do not kill, or through intentional action cause physical harm to another human being, except in defence.
Every human has the right to their own body, thoughts and words, upon which nothing except the above law shall infringe.
Where it does not conflict with previous laws, respect physical property of the public and other individuals - it is not to be destroyed, taken or abused without permission of its holder(s).
Basically some sort of democratic case law
